Section 1: Introduction Series 2400 SourceMeter® Quick Start Guide
Limit testing
There is one hardware test (Limit 1; compliance) and 10 software tests (Limits 2, 3, 5-12; high/low
limits) available for limit testing. (Limit 4 is reserved for the contact check option.) For basic, pass/
fail, non-binning limit testing, you should use only one software test at a time.
